Cellular biology answer check. please check if my answers arecorrect or not.
1) The concentration of ions inside a cell is the same as theirconcentration outside of the cell. True or false? (i chose falsesince having equilibrium inside a cell is bad)
2) Membrane transport proteins...
a)...transport membrane potentials between cells |
b) | ...transport membranes from the ER to the Golgi |
c) | ...are made up of phospholipids |
d) | ...transport molecules across membranes |
i chose d
3)The electrochemical gradienttakes into account:
a) | The concentration of solutes on either side of themembrane. |
b) | The overall charge on either side of the membrane. |
c) | Both of these. |
i chose C. (although i am sure that overall charge matters, Iwasn't sure if concentration of solutes are taken account.)
4) If no energywere expended by an animal cell:
a) | Both gradients would be depleted |
b)The K+ gradient would maintain itself. |
c) | None of these |
d) | The Na+ gradient would maintain itself. |
I chose d) mainly because I think Na+ gradient exist in animalcell and not K+ gradient.
